Remington and Colt Fire back
So NY and Ct gonna keep a log of all the Semi Auto guns Colt and Remington sell? Since it would be a state law, the sale of a Remington in Pa would go unreported back to NY. So how exactly is NY going to find out about the sale and registration? F'ing Idiots can't even half think before they try to pass a law to "make us safer"

Remington and Colt Fire back
Well here we go again on the useless micro-stamping. But this time Remington and Colt are telling the idiots to stuff it. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/28/microstamping-legislation-may-lead-remington-colt-to-relocate/ I really do love their response. Paraphrasing Fine pass the law, we will leave the state and take our jobs and tax revenues with us.

Inertia Bullet puller experience
The picture in post 10 of the above link shows why using the shell holder is a REAL BAD IDEA. The puller was designed by engineers and scrutinized by lawyers for liability reasons. If they think it's safe to use as designed, it probably is. It may not be the best at what it does but it will be as safe as they can make it. Once you go tinkering with all bets are off.

Maryland School Shooting.
Yes it's not the teachers job to tackle a gunman, and like you I'm glad they did. Now it's only a matter of time before disciplinary action is taken against the teachers for not following procedures.

WARNING: Possible Problem with WWB 9mm
Its not just in Pa. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39152-back-from-area-8-match/ See link for what Maks saw in Va. Same problem. Seems like the common denominator is WWB an Walmart. Does Winchester make special runs to satisfy Walmart buys?

xtreme plated
20-25 yds. I thought it strange because only this one guys ammo was doing this. You would hear the steel hit and then see the dirt fly in 3 or 4 spots from the fragments. The ground hits looked like what you get if a 22 is shot into the dirt. So the fragments still had a reasonable amount of energy. Like I said, I like the extreme bullets and will buy them again, just a little cautious when using them on steel.

xtreme plated
Just an observation about the extreme bullets. If shooting steel make sure you are far enough away. At a recent steel match, one guy was shooting 180 gr and the bullets were shattering on the plates, and ricocheting a lot. Not saying they are bad, I like them, just a caution.

Ramsey Outdoor must hate selling firearms.
If you want attentive service go to Luciano's in Woodland Park. I've been greeted at the door each time I've gone in, and if you want help it's never been more than a minute before someone broke free to see what I needed.

The media and JHP ammunition...
No, just that you are trying to hit the guy behind the guy you shot. Lets not forget that HP is designed to kill LEO's, You know armor piercing and all.

Winchester White Box (Walmart Easton PA purchases) lengthy.
Well if you have some recent WWB, I would very hesitant about shooting it. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39152-back-from-area-8-match/ I guess they still haven't worked out their QC issues.

Man Orders TV Through Amazon, Gets Assault Rifle
It was a shipping screwup. The Sig was destined to an Ffl but the box wound up with two sets of labels on it. Somehow the labels for the tv got on the sig box.

NJ FID Card
Apply for the FID. Being unemployed actually makes it easier as there is one less thing for the examining officer to verify. Until FID comes in just buy your ammo out of state, drive to Del or PA whichever is closer.
